Tho noted ox-Governor of Kansas Territory has arrived in Lecompton,' wlicrb' he' jtitouds to outer upon tho practice of his profession, as fthiwyor. ,.Ho has a.cliiiiiiing near town,which has been squatted upon during his absence. Ho, however, seems determined to got possession of it, and to pmctico not only law,: but farming. His family still remains in Ohio.and ara expected to como out in tho spring, The old mail looks bettor ns a private citiiscn. than as a Governor; ho hns an easier, timo pf it. and his invitations to " take a drink " aro of less frequent occurrflnco now than formerly. It is presumed that for tho futuro ho will keep a little more temperate than ho used to, while occupying tho Gubernatorial Chair. As apri-Yato citizen of Kansas, ho will have fewer friends among tho lenders of tho Border Ruffian party than ho has been accustomed to while Governor. I bclievo Governor Goary to be a temperate man, onu not m the habit of getting "elevated" by the ue of strong drink. Consequently the pro-sl ivory mon cannnt control and make a tool of him, as they did of his predecessor in ollico. In that respect ho has a great advantage over Shannon, whoso incapacity rendered him totally unlit for tho position assigned him, nnd whose drunkenness made his administration of nlfairs contemptible, nnd very dangerous to the peoplj of Kan sas. Jc.Wiis his proclamation that brought about tho invasion' of tho Territory by Mis-sourians, tho threatened destruction of Law rence, 'and tho murder of tho lamented Thos. W. Harbour, last December. Whatever Geary may do, there is no danger of his committing so great nn error as that. His administration in Kansas will be more just towards tho Free n:W mon, and prevent wariiko invasions of tho Territory. '. . '. :,' 1 " - o:s . w.' T.vrrAS.' '.''

We published a condensed account of the murder of young Garnhnrt in Gnlllon; a fhiv days since. Tho Mansfield' Ifa alJ gives lie following particulars : "" '" ' -"We are informed that on Now Yoar's Eve, Mr. Sturr, a young man who has always maintained a hiitli and resnectablo charactur. nt.wir.u.. vMl 1IIM.I l, HVIUin 1,1 UIIU VI VllO OIU.OB ill Gallioii. It seems that Mr. Starr sonic timo sinco becamo engaged to n youug lady at Plymouth; and then went to California, got into business, nnd wns doing remnrknbly well. For three years tho, young lady conducted herself with the strictest propriety. Her father theu moved to Callion, where sho became acquainted with the deceased-i-a clerk in her father's storo. Au attachment sprang up between them, and a friend of Mr. Starr wrote to hi in that if ho maintained his regard for the lady, ho had better return homo. He immediately settled up his business, and did so. Ho found the young lady strongly inclined to tho deceased, who, however, declared he would not interfere with the claiiil of Mr. Starr. . At length, by tho advice of her par Kin f : . I,,. .i,.i, ;.,, r .1... o. ents, tho young lady married Mr. Starr, and nicy moveu: to !ny returned, tlio acquaintance.- resumed on tli Starr susuectingan improper intimacy, (whctlv cr thero was a good right for it or not, wo have not been informed,) determined on the death of the clerk. Accordingly ho armed himself, and oh Saturday evening last, whilo walking together to a ball; he shot him twice, and stepping on board the ClcVcMHd trrlin; escaped. A boy at Plymouth states that ho drove the same man to Norwalk in a sleigh, and it is generally supposed that. ho took the morning tram for tlie West. All possiblo means art being employed to arrest and bring the crimi nal to justice, these are the lacts as near as .wo havo been able to learn them." The Gallion Democrat says tho opinions of physicians is that uarnhart might havo lived a short time after the (list shot, but that the second must have proved instantly fatal, lie ran some little distance from the place where ho was standing when the first shot struck him, but seemed to have droped instantly on receiving the second disehnrgc. Piteous cries were heard by the family of Mr. Itiblet, ns though tho victim was begging and entreating his murderer to . spare him, which were silenced by the last shot The dreadful deed was perpetrated in-the highway, betwoon six nnd seven o'clock, tho mom wns shining brightly on tho bloody scene, with persons passing and repassing. ' The body was buried on Sunday at Shelby, the residence of the ill-fated youth's father. Then? is no evidence" of any improper Intimacy between the deceased and Mrs. Starr, other than the- possession of Gainhnrt's' daguerreotype which was Jivund, in-. boiUnink, and tho liict that a . correspondence was, kept npliJt'Vfeil Weill lifter tile tnarringo of 'Mrs. S , her letters to him being addressed to "Geo. Sims." During the thrco weeks which had aspired after the return of Mr. and Mrs. S , both Garnhnrt and Mrs. G., aro said to have conducted with tho utmost propriety. ' Garnhnrt i.-i said to' havo bcHH hie-hly es teemed by those actpuaiiitcd with him, and his sad fato has caused much sorftw. A reward of live hundred dollars is offered for tho arrest of the murder. ' A Good Anecdote. . .. "During the inauguration of Gcncrai Tavlor, nt Washington, 1). C., Jlnrch 4th, 1810," the police regulations, as usual, required that after the speech of tho, new President had commenced, tho gates of tho Capitol Grounds should be closed, and no carriage of nny kind allowed to pass, until the speech was finished, to prevent confusion. ' Tho Minister of nil the Tiussias, M. Bodisco, was very late, nnd after tho speech had begun, drovo up to tlie gat6 iii groat haste, tlio horses covered with foam, when the coachman shout-e 1 to the guard " Open zc gates; iv you please." Tho guard shook Ids head nnd stood (still. Tho footman next called outj " Will yod open r.e gate for zs Russian Minister 1" The guard ngain shook his head, without answering a word. -Next, the grand Jlinterput Ins head out of tho carriage;, window, and called to tho guard: "Cyenjc gates to xe gran Minister of; nit if Itussias Minister PIe:.ipotentiary, M. Hoilisco ; I am ze Minister." There was il great crowd around tho gates within nnd without, and all this fuss created quite a" stir. The guard drew himself up, and m lirm and p'.easaJit manner replied, " Ij ijn t were a fne-lorn American citizen of these United Statet cf America, yon could not pass t!i"te gutei in a carriage.'? , ,. ., , The c;cwd came very r.er.r giving three ; cheers for. the guard, but better manners pre- j vailed J nnd M.

Good deeds never die; they-have nn immortal existence, and their effects mny tell in tho symphonies of heaven, where all goodness receives its .ultimate reward. An encouraging tf bl'd, spoken in kindness, has often revived hope in desponding breasts, and incited to now exertions and conquests.

Tho noted ox-Governor of Kansas Territory has arrived in Lecompton,' wlicrb' he' jtitouds to outer upon tho practice of his profession, as fthiwyor. ,.Ho has a.cliiiiiiing near town,which has been squatted upon during his absence. Ho, however, seems determined to got possession of it, and to pmctico not only law,: but farming. His family still remains in Ohio.and ara expected to como out in tho spring, The old mail looks bettor ns a private citiiscn. than as a Governor; ho hns an easier, timo pf it. and his invitations to " take a drink " aro of less frequent occurrflnco now than formerly. It is presumed that for tho futuro ho will keep a little more temperate than ho used to, while occupying tho Gubernatorial Chair. As apri-Yato citizen of Kansas, ho will have fewer friends among tho lenders of tho Border Ruffian party than ho has been accustomed to while Governor. I bclievo Governor Goary to be a temperate man, onu not m the habit of getting "elevated" by the ue of strong drink. Consequently the pro-sl ivory mon cannnt control and make a tool of him, as they did of his predecessor in ollico. In that respect ho has a great advantage over Shannon, whoso incapacity rendered him totally unlit for tho position assigned him, nnd whose drunkenness made his administration of nlfairs contemptible, nnd very dangerous to the peoplj of Kan sas. Jc.Wiis his proclamation that brought about tho invasion' of tho Territory by Mis-sourians, tho threatened destruction of Law rence, 'and tho murder of tho lamented Thos. W. Harbour, last December. Whatever Geary may do, there is no danger of his committing so great nn error as that. His administration in Kansas will be more just towards tho Free n:W mon, and prevent wariiko invasions of tho Territory. '. . '. :,' 1 " - o:s . w.' T.vrrAS.' '.''

We published a condensed account of the murder of young Garnhnrt in Gnlllon; a fhiv days since. Tho Mansfield' Ifa alJ gives lie following particulars : "" '" ' -"We are informed that on Now Yoar's Eve, Mr. Sturr, a young man who has always maintained a hiitli and resnectablo charactur. nt.wir.u.. vMl 1IIM.I l, HVIUin 1,1 UIIU VI VllO OIU.OB ill Gallioii. It seems that Mr. Starr sonic timo sinco becamo engaged to n youug lady at Plymouth; and then went to California, got into business, nnd wns doing remnrknbly well. For three years tho, young lady conducted herself with the strictest propriety. Her father theu moved to Callion, where sho became acquainted with the deceased-i-a clerk in her father's storo. Au attachment sprang up between them, and a friend of Mr. Starr wrote to hi in that if ho maintained his regard for the lady, ho had better return homo. He immediately settled up his business, and did so. Ho found the young lady strongly inclined to tho deceased, who, however, declared he would not interfere with the claiiil of Mr. Starr. . At length, by tho advice of her par Kin f : . I,,. .i,.i, ;.,, r .1... o. ents, tho young lady married Mr. Starr, and nicy moveu: to !ny returned, tlio acquaintance.- resumed on tli Starr susuectingan improper intimacy, (whctlv cr thero was a good right for it or not, wo have not been informed,) determined on the death of the clerk. Accordingly ho armed himself, and oh Saturday evening last, whilo walking together to a ball; he shot him twice, and stepping on board the ClcVcMHd trrlin; escaped. A boy at Plymouth states that ho drove the same man to Norwalk in a sleigh, and it is generally supposed that. ho took the morning tram for tlie West. All possiblo means art being employed to arrest and bring the crimi nal to justice, these are the lacts as near as .wo havo been able to learn them." The Gallion Democrat says tho opinions of physicians is that uarnhart might havo lived a short time after the (list shot, but that the second must have proved instantly fatal, lie ran some little distance from the place where ho was standing when the first shot struck him, but seemed to have droped instantly on receiving the second disehnrgc. Piteous cries were heard by the family of Mr. Itiblet, ns though tho victim was begging and entreating his murderer to . spare him, which were silenced by the last shot The dreadful deed was perpetrated in-the highway, betwoon six nnd seven o'clock, tho mom wns shining brightly on tho bloody scene, with persons passing and repassing. ' The body was buried on Sunday at Shelby, the residence of the ill-fated youth's father. Then? is no evidence" of any improper Intimacy between the deceased and Mrs. Starr, other than the- possession of Gainhnrt's' daguerreotype which was Jivund, in-. boiUnink, and tho liict that a . correspondence was, kept npliJt'Vfeil Weill lifter tile tnarringo of 'Mrs. S , her letters to him being addressed to "Geo. Sims." During the thrco weeks which had aspired after the return of Mr. and Mrs. S , both Garnhnrt and Mrs. G., aro said to have conducted with tho utmost propriety. ' Garnhnrt i.-i said to' havo bcHH hie-hly es teemed by those actpuaiiitcd with him, and his sad fato has caused much sorftw. A reward of live hundred dollars is offered for tho arrest of the murder. ' A Good Anecdote. . .. "During the inauguration of Gcncrai Tavlor, nt Washington, 1). C., Jlnrch 4th, 1810," the police regulations, as usual, required that after the speech of tho, new President had commenced, tho gates of tho Capitol Grounds should be closed, and no carriage of nny kind allowed to pass, until the speech was finished, to prevent confusion. ' Tho Minister of nil the Tiussias, M. Bodisco, was very late, nnd after tho speech had begun, drovo up to tlie gat6 iii groat haste, tlio horses covered with foam, when the coachman shout-e 1 to the guard " Open zc gates; iv you please." Tho guard shook Ids head nnd stood (still. Tho footman next called outj " Will yod open r.e gate for zs Russian Minister 1" The guard ngain shook his head, without answering a word. -Next, the grand Jlinterput Ins head out of tho carriage;, window, and called to tho guard: "Cyenjc gates to xe gran Minister of; nit if Itussias Minister PIe:.ipotentiary, M. Hoilisco ; I am ze Minister." There was il great crowd around tho gates within nnd without, and all this fuss created quite a" stir. The guard drew himself up, and m lirm and p'.easaJit manner replied, " Ij ijn t were a fne-lorn American citizen of these United Statet cf America, yon could not pass t!i"te gutei in a carriage.'? , ,. ., , The c;cwd came very r.er.r giving three ; cheers for. the guard, but better manners pre- j vailed J nnd M. ISodisco stepped out of his el-' cgJint equipage, nnd entered tho sido pato with the sotereign people, his Carriage remaining outside until all the ceremonies were over.

A kind word or act is never fp'ckerl or fir-formed in vain. Good deeds never die; they-have nn immortal existence, and their effects mny tell in tho symphonies of heaven, where all goodness receives its .ultimate reward. An encouraging tf bl'd, spoken in kindness, has often revived hope in desponding breasts, and incited to now exertions and conquests. A feeling expression of sympathy has often been as balm to wounded spirits lias often lifted up the bowed head and dried the filling tear, when nothing else could havo reached iho Af flicted heart.
